Handmade Project: Long Stitch Notebook

Last summer, Nate and I took a book-binding workshop together. It was a ton of fun and we both agreed we were interested in learning more about book binding. Recently, I came across Erin Zam's shop! She specializes not only in handmade books, but in DIY kits which teach you different binding methods. I picked the Long Stitch kit as a surprise gift for Nate.

The kit comes well organized and packaged in a brown envelope. It includes all the necessary paper, an instruction sheet, cutting templates and sewing materials. It does not include a bone folder or an awl. Overall, Nate was pleased with the kit and it made a great little surprise gift. I definitely recommend checking out Erin Zam's kits if you want to dip your toes into some bookbinding.
